Our rescue feature of the month is The Rescue Crew!
Greetings, dear friends! I'm Groot, and in the loving embrace of my foster family, they've dubbed me "the best boy." At 55 lbs, I'm a delightful blend of love and dashing good looks, wrapped up in a pit bull package. With me, you'll find the perfect balance of energy, playfulness, and the occasional lazy day as a couch potato.
Fear not, I don't require the title of "only dog" because I absolutely relish playing tug of war with my foster sister. All I need are slow introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable, and I'm confident we can form lasting friendships that would make our tails wag with joy.
I've developed a fondness for leisurely walks with my foster family and have been diligently refining my leash manners. Nowadays, the only time they're not stellar is when something fascinating catches my eye, beckoning me to explore. This summer, I had a revelation when I discovered the wonders of a hose. Let me tell you, it's one of the most captivating things ever ā chasing that elusive stream of water is a sheer delight!

Regularly taking your pet to the vet for a wellness visit is essential, but we know it can be quite the event!
Here are our 7 Tips for a stress-free visit. Share this post to help reduce stress other pets may experience.
1) Schedule your veterinary appointment strategically. Our pets can sense our emotions, be sure you have time as to not stress out your pet.
2) Plan for potential pet stressors. Such as coming through a side door, if your dog doesn't like other pets. Cover your cat carrier with a blanket.
3) Practice handling your pet at home. You should start handling your pet at a young age, such as feet and ears.
4) Ensure your pet is comfortable in their carrier. Keep the carriers open and accessible at home to prevent association with transporting.
5) Exercise your pet before their appointment. They will burn off extra energy so they are relaxed.
6) Bring reinforcements for your pet, such as treats, favorite toy or blanket.
7) Prepare questions for your veterinarian.

Southview Urgent Care Tail and Exit Party Video! Debo is a 7.5-year-old German Shepard mix. He was rescued from a reservation in Pine Ridge, SD. In August 2023 Debo was diagnosed with Spindle Cell Sarcoma on his hind hip. He had surgery on Sept 12th 2023 at another clinic. Luckily the surgery was a success and the cancer had not spread. Southview was lucky enough to meet Debo on Sept 28th 2023. Debo came to Southview to continue care after the surgery he had earlier in the month. Unfortunately, his incision was infected and he needed daily wound cleanings and bandage changes. This infection caused the incision to open up creating the need for an additional closing surgery with the board-certified surgeon on October 12th. Debo stayed at Southview for 21 days. He became well known and loved by his care team at Southview. We are happy we were able to be here for Debo and his owners during this time.

What Southview team feeds their pet.
Looking for a new food for your pets? Watch the video to see what the staff at Southview is feeding their pets. When choosing a pet food look for the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) label. We recommend a diet from Purina, Royal Canin, and Hillās.
Fun Fact Friday! Meet Herbie! He is a Red Footed Tortoise that loves to have his shell scratched! Did you know that the shells have nerve endings and are also covered in a layer of keratin. They can feel it very slightly when you scratch them . Some tortoises like the feeling of being sctatched or patted and some do shy away from it.
February is Heart Month! ā¤ļø Did you know that you can monitor your pet for heart and respiratory illness at home? Respiratory rate is a way you can evaluate for heart issues at home. When a dog is sitting calmly or resting they should take 12-40 breaths per minute. When a cat is resting their respiratory rate should be less than 40. Watch the video of Heidi taking Bindys respiratory rate to learn how to take your pets at home. The Cardalis app can be a way to monitor your pets respiratory rate at home. Southview Animal Hospital has a board certified Cardiologist that comes once a month to see some of our patients. #HeartMonth #southviewanimalhospital
Herbie is happy because it is National Peanut Butter Day! Peanut butter is a favorite treat among many dogs. When giving your furry friend peanut butter make sure that is does not contain xylitol as that is toxic to our furry friends.
How Cold is too Cold? Each pet reacts differently to the cold weather and some even need those winter accessories. If you are not sure when it is too cold for your pet to be outside, please refer to the flow chart. #southviewanimalhospital
Put the glasses on and pose! Happy Holidays! #puttheglassesonandpose #southviewanimalhospital #happypawlidays
